Air shocks were screwed. Their design is you cant replace the shock, so for a 15 year old car, they were gone. Couldnt get a roady here (not dodgy) so I sold it. I was too honest about the car and only got 8k for it.

It was a nice car to drive around illegally yes :P

New owners are Paul and Melissa

It will be Melissa's (Miss nismo) car

They should have it in 2-3 weeks

Cheers Darrin.

The Stagea arrived in our driveway on Monday afternoon, after leaving Southport about the same time last week (apparently the transporter came across a flooded bridge and had to find another route).

I have spent the public holiday today cleaning it all up and familiarising myself with this piece of family wagon magic. The white pearl colour is simply amazing when freshly washed.

Engine runs extremely smooth and quiet, with the nismo exhaust giving only just a noticable note, fantastic.

The premium Addzest sound system sounds fantastic (Bass engine under passenger seat, and Digital sound processor under driver's).... although some of it will end up being binned (Sat Nav and TV is in Japanese and the head unit will need a FM expander). ANYBODY HAVE ANY NEED OR IDEAS ON WHAT TO DO WITH THESE COMPONENTS?

I was lucky enough to find three small tokens of the previous owner's life with the car also:

a 10 Yen coin, a Cigarette that had been dropped down the seat, and the rear ashtray was full of aqua coloured little 'pearls' (old airfresheners I assume).

Its off to vehicle inspection and ID check tomorrow and then she is on the road!

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
